Tuned for Enduro, a second-generation Convergence carbon wheel system with front- and rear-specific tuning for hard, sustained impacts. The Triad Carbon is Industry Nine's enduro wheel line in the 2026 "One Roof" lineup, built around hand-laid WR1 carbon rims made in Kamloops, BC and hubs machined in Asheville, NC. Every wheel line is offered on three build platforms: SYSTEM (Hydra2 System hub with I9 alloy System Spokes), CLASSIC (Hydra2 hub, Sapim J-bend spokes) and 1/1 (1/1 hub, Sapim J-bend spokes).
